How to create your own at-home gym

It doesn't usually take too many excuses to convince yourself that you can't make it to the gym or fit that workout in. Then when winter comes around, it only gets harder. The idea of getting up early or going out later in the day to face the cold on your way to the gym doesn't sound pleasant.

So here's your solution – your very own mini gym at home! Of course, you don't want to go out and buy massive exercise machines, but there is plenty of small equipment available that you can use to create your own at-home workouts.

If you don't know where to start when it comes to buying equipment, here's a list of items that will help you get the ball rolling:

Kettle bells

Resistance bands

Exercise ball

Dumbbells

Aerobic step

Jump rope

Ab wheel

Fitness mat

Here are some top picks for at home gym equipment that won't break your bank account.
